    Italians win the anthem match 10-0

    We should have gone with Jerusalem years ago.
    Even I'd find myself singing along to that.

    Not a bad start, so much for the vaunted Italian defence. Shaw almost missed though, can see why he's never scored for England before.

    Acceptable start

    This stupid thing with putting your arms behind your back when defending in the box is annoying. It must affect your ability to change direction.

    It's a natural position. We are descended from fish. There are two F's in FIFA.

    Damn, it's a close match. Great first take goal by Shaw.

    England looking solid but in danger of dropping back too much it feels. The better side so far although the stats didn't reflect it. Was a superb effort by Chiesa that deserved a goal but other than that Italy have really threatened much for their possession. They look a bit old, slow and pedestrian a lot of the time.

    Well, go big or go home...

    I think this looks pretty good

    England are winning all the little things. Italy can't get a foothold or build any momentum. If they keep it up then we should be grand....

    Feels like Italy will have the ball for the second half, but if they make one mistake game's over
